I thought the same amount of energy would be needed if the inclination to reach is 51 degrees, from anywhere between 51 degrees south and 51 degrees north. It's just a matter of deciding what path to take from the ground.
It would be much harder for a spacecraft if the launch site were above 51degrees to reach those 51 degrees.
